Keep the Jag or trade down(?) for a C6?
Alright, so I bought an '05 XJR last month for $71k (msrp ~$85k) and I've modded it a bit. I've installed K&N FIPK (CAI), custom stainless headers, Magnaflow exhaust and a 2.8in pulley. It has the stock 20in wheels and should be in the neighborhood of 465hp.
But now I can get a deal on a badass C6 Vette. 6-speed manual with the Z51 performance package, and the 18in front, 19in rear wheels. In Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic.
The deal I was offered was $45k drive-out(!) so my problem is whether I should take the hit and trade in for the Vette, or sell the Jaguar separately?
Or I guess, keep the Jaguar? The more practical car is of course the Jaguar, but I am, as you guys know, pretty damn Chevy so I can't decide.

LMAO mom!!!
Is your 'H' key broken on the keyboard?
My dad's E55 has the keyless go and it is a pain! When you forget if you locked the car or not, you go back to check but it automatically unlocks itself so you're like WTF?!?!
It's more of an inconvenience than not, I think!
Unfortunately the 400 horsies feel like ponies to the S7000! But of course, that's before I slap on some heads, a slapstick and other goodies!
To hell with the warranty!
